Take a picture of the entire surface of Mars. It was one of the missions assigned to Tianwen-1, the probe launched by the China Aerospace Administration (CNSA) in July 2020. The country’s first independent planetary exploration mission. And about 1,344 orbits after arriving near red planet In February 2021, Tianwen-1 was finally able to map its entire surface. All are stored in over a thousand gigabytes of raw data.
So researchers will now have at least one mid-resolution image of any of them Mars region. For some areas, they will even have high definition images. They are likely to reveal valuable new information. In the meantime, a place to question.
mission accomplished! CNSA announced that the orbiter Tianwen-1 has obtained global medium-resolution images of Mars, after 1,344 rotations in 706 days, as of June 29. The probe has completed all the planned tasks and will continue its remote sensing work and conduct some technological tests … pic.twitter.com/ml2M8smEFr

Guided tour of Mars

The Astronomy scientists I still don’t know how it was formed. But they suspect it took billions of years, from cracks that appeared as the Red Planet began to cool.
There are also new photos of the hole Maunder, one of the deepest depths on Mars. or theAscarius Monsa volcano More than 18 kilometers were discovered by the Mariner 9 probe, about 50 years ago.
Important photos from The south pole of Mars, also. The area where a vast subglacial lake is believed to be filled with salt water is hidden beneath. It’s probably our best chance of finding any trace of life on the Red Planet.
